"We hired Caitlin to plan and design our wedding at Brasada Ranch last September. She was exceptional throughout the entire process, and created a luxurious, elegant atmosphere that was beyond what we could have dreamed of! Caitlin incorporated LOTS of color, elements of the desert landscape (terrocotta plates, Cacti, Tumbleweed Chandeliers, etc) we loved, and personal details (customized cornhole bags, fun fact cocktail napkins, etc.) were thoughtfully implemented. Her incredibly calm, supportive, and warm demeanor was soothing throughout the whole process - which was crucial as I am a high-stress person in my normal day to day. She was able to keep us level-headed and relaxed so that we could truly enjoy the experience. Caitlin was professional in all her interactions with us and our vendors.
​
We were so impressed with her planning / design for our wedding day that we asked her to do our Rehearsal dinner for us too. She not only does planning and design, but she also executes. Our wedding at Brasada Ranch was truly a masterpiece, thanks to Caitlin's expertise and creativity. Highly recommend her for an exceptional wedding experience."

"We hired Caitlin to be our wedding planner for our beautiful wedding at Nestldown in Oct 2024. I wanted to do a Harry Potter themed welcome dinner and a Lord of the Rings themed wedding day and had a lot of fun working with Caitlin on the artistic/creative elements of both of these events! I had a vision but no idea how to execute on that vision, and Caitlin helped me bring it to life :)
​
With regards to the design - I'd also seen her work with other weddings, so felt comfortable completely trusting her with the color palette and aesthetic for our wedding day. I also went with all her recommendations for our vendors - from our photographer to our florist to our DJ - and am so glad I did! Every team did a fantastic job and created (and captured!) a stunning and magical wedding day for us. My welcome event was a bit more DIY, but Caitlin was also helpful there in managing catering orders and rentals, and helping me put together a design spec for the decor and providing a list of items so all I had to do was make the purchases and tell my family and friends what to do to set-up.
As someone who tends to be a bit of a control freak, has a specific vision but no bandwidth or expertise to execute, and tends to get carried away with little details, I was grateful to have Caitlin as a partner in this as she kept me on track, handled my anxiety, and was someone I felt I could trust with my vision."

"My wedding in May of this year was so beautiful and was so smooth thanks to Caitlin! Caitlin was so sweet, wonderful, responsible, and organized. I had a wedding nightmare exactly one month before my wedding. Long story short, my original planner ended up being a disaster! She kept pushing ideas and designs that she wanted or thought was best for me.
Caitlin came to the rescue and created a customized “month of planning” package where she took the reigns of final communication with all the vendors, timeline, layout, etc. The ceremony rehearsal, the wedding ceremony, reception, and clean up were all so seamless. On the wedding day, Caitlin would check up on me to make sure I had enough to eat, to stay hydrated, and kept me up to date on the timeline if we were staying on track. If you are on the fence of hiring Caitlin for your wedding, please do! You will not regret it!"
